The thumbscrew provides a detent ball for precision and a 13mm Brembo master cylinder for reliability and perfect thumb pressure with the thumb lever providing a knurled finish for grip. Handlebar fitment is the standard 22mm which 95% of bars are and in the coming months, other mounting options will come available. This wonderful kit provides 4 points of movement to give you the best position to suit you! Comes complete with our GP reservoir tube kit in a color of your choice. To complete the kit you can either go directly to your rear caliper or you can have the rear foot master cylinder in conjunction. You can order specific lengths of braided lines from either Venhill or Goodridge. If you decide to have the rear foot pedal usable in conjunction you'll need to fit a \"Junction Valve\" to your rear master cylinder which feeds into the reservoir port. This is a very simple layout and we are happy to assist where we can.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"bi6gxh9e\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"2kvuf\" data-offset-key=\"8k7a7-0-0\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"bi6gxh9e\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"2kvuf\" data-offset-key=\"8k7a7-0-0\"\u003e\u003cem style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eTHE THUMB BRAKE KIT IS UNIVERSAL TO ALL BIKES.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"bi6gxh9e\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"2kvuf\" data-offset-key=\"8k7a7-0-0\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"bi6gxh9e\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"2kvuf\" data-offset-key=\"8k7a7-0-0\"\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: \u003c\/strong\u003ePlease \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.motomachines.com\/contact\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #e03e2d; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003econtact us\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e to confirm the stock status before placing your order\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch5 class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"8k7a7-0-0\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINCLUDES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"bi6gxh9e\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"2kvuf\" data-offset-key=\"9u1rg-0-0\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"9u1rg-0-0\"\u003e\r\n\u003col\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eRacetorx Thumb Brake mechanism\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eTitanium banjo bolt with copper washers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eRacetorx GP-inspired reservoir tube and black cap \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eBrembo 11mm or 13mm master cylinder if chosen from the drop-down menu\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none;\"\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e11mm master cylinder for single cylinder 125cc - 500cc motorcycles (supermoto, motocross, trails \u0026amp; road)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e13mm master cylinder for 2, 3 \u0026amp; 4 cylinder 500cc – 1400cc motorcycles (road, track, superbike \u0026amp; adventure)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eWhen using your foot in a road\/race boot or a motocross boot you can not gauge pressure, with your thumb you can gauge the pressure through the paddle, this means more control breaking in a corner on a race track, angle of the bike in the air on a motocross track, on a trails bike in a technical route and even wheelie control on a stunt bike. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eA lot of people ask, \u003cem\u003e\"What is a thumb brake?\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"f8vnh-0-0\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\" data-offset-key=\"8p65e-0-0\"\u003eIt’s a left thumb-operated rear brake, Thumb brakes are a great addition to any motorcycle, especially on a race track.
